BALKAN DEMOGRAPHICS

BALKAN
DEMOGRAPHICS -

Greece
is finished—Bulgaria's time running out and will Macedonia survive?

By Sasha
Uzunov

It
wasn't the CIA, the Vatican, the Zionists, the Germans, the
Freemasons, Henry Kissinger, the old KGB, the Communists, the Arabs
nor the “traditional enemy” Turkey nor the annoying
“Slavo-Macedonians from Skopje” up in the north that did it. But
the Greeks themselves.

That is
bring about the end of Greece as a viable nation-state. Moderate
Greeks will tell you that those on the extreme far right in Greece
have at one time or another blamed someone from the above mentioned
list for Greece's woes.

Greece
would have to be the first nation-states in history to implode
because of its own unfounded phobias coupled with its crazy and
corrupt economics, low demographics and Nanny Statism. And to think
not one bullet was fired by an “external enemy.” It is no
surprising that those in desperate straits, like a drowning man, have
grabbed onto the extremist right wing party Golden Dawn

Canadian
commentator and self-described “Armageddon Stand-up comedian”
spells it out in stark terms:

“In
Greece, the arithmetic is starker. To prop up unsustainable welfare
states, most of the Western world isn’t “printing money” but
instead printing credit cards and pre-approving our unborn
grandchildren. That would be a dodgy proposition at the best of
times. But in the Mediterranean those grandchildren are never going
to be born. As I pointed out in my best-selling hate crime America
Alone four years ago, Greece has one of the lowest fertility
rates on the planet—1.3 children per couple, which places it in the
“lowest-low” demographic category from which no society has
recovered...

“Greek
public sector employees are entitled not only to 14 monthly pay
cheques per annum during their “working” lives, but also 14
monthly retirement cheques per annum till death. Who’s going to be
around to pay for that? “

BULGARIA
– things aren't looking good either.

Bulgaria
has one of the worst demographic rates in the world and according to
Ekaterina Popova, of the Epoch Times Bulgaria website, it means:

“Many
European countries may disappear at the end of the century and
Bulgaria is among them. An article in an American monthly
magazine The New Criterion reports on this alarming trend of
Bulgarian and European depopulation.

"By 2050
the Bulgarian population will have decreased by 36 percent. The
forecast is even grimmer for Estonia. Estonians are expected to
decrease in number 50 percent by 2050, while Italians will decrease
by 20 percent...If the demographic situation doesn't change, by the end of the century native Europeans will be mostly elderly with the balance of the European population Muslim immigrants. If current trends hold, the rapidly growing Muslim population will irreversibly change the culture of Europe."

Since
the collapse of communism in 1989 a later membership of the European
Union, a significant number Bulgarian have embraced fringe right wing
nationalist groups that have grown in influence, such as ATAKA, with
its anti-Turk and anti-Macedonian and anti-West ideology.

WILL
MACEDONIA SURVIVE?

What
does Bulgaria's declining population and waning economic fortunes
mean in the long run, especially for Macedonia? It could mean that a
desperate Bulgaria under the control of a far right government in
the next decade or two might militarily intervene in Macedonia as a
way of increasing its population and territory.

As I
have spelt out before in an early blog article, dated 25 October 2011

DID
BULGARIA PROVOKE WAR IN MACEDONIA?

by Sasha
Uzunov

The
Republic of Macedonia celebrated its 20th anniversary of
independence on 8 September 2011. This year also marked a decade of
the short-lived ethnic Albanian insurgency in that tiny Balkan state.
Did neighbouring Bulgaria, for its own strategic ends, light the fuse
to long standing tensions between ethnic Albanians and Macedonians?

Is
Bulgaria's long term strategic goal in creating instability in
Macedonia! That is making the new state non-viable and absorbed by a
Greater Bulgaria, a century old aspiration of ultra Bulgarian
nationalists?
